Life is what it is…

I’ve recently been diagnosed with hypothyroidism. It’s a relief actually. I’ve always felt something wasn’t right with my body. After my first child was born I became hypoglycemic which actually is a symptom in itself of a possible thyroid issue.

Yes, I put on weight, but it’s been more than that. My mood: depression, anxiety, anger, detachment, and then moments of joy and laughter. I want a level mood. I want balance, and I think I’m coming close to that.

I’ve decided to refocus my life. I’m not alone per se, but I’m definitely in a more independent state. It’s time I figure out who the hell I am and go with that. It’s time I sit down with my insecurities/fears and figure out ways to deal with them.

I’ve always had a thing about financial security and yet I’ve never spent enough time budgeting out my money to where I feel more at easy with it all. Mint.com is an awesome site to help set goals and budgets. My accounts were set up 2 years ago and I’m just now starting to use it in a productive way. Way to take my time…

Reading has also become a current obsession. Buddhism. Fiction. What other types of reading is there? Feminism??! Anyway, every night I sit down with a book. I’m currently jumping between: The Alchemist, How To Love, and Making of a Mage. You won’t find that last book out yet, it’s still being written. 🙂

Yoga…it’s a way of life, a way of thinking, moving, existing.

At this moment, today, I feel as if I’m mourning the end of something, of a time when I wasn’t real and lived in fear of being found out. I know that sounds egocentric, but hell, this is my place to unwind so why not be selfish…

About The Author

Toni is a mother to 4, wife to 1, and preschool teacher to many. When she's not busy chasing after her children and/or chickens, writing lesson plans, or trying to convince her family she has, indeed, already cooked them all up a 5 course meal, she enjoys: short runs, long naps, belly dancing, and reading a good book while nursing a tall glass of wine.

You can follow along on her journey as she tries her hand at yoga, photography, urban farming, and knife throwing...ok, so maybe she's never actually done the whole knife throwing thing, but still, her life is certainly an adventure none the less!
